Senator Catherine Blakespear's bill to tighten rules on plastic bags, SB 1053, has passed California's Senate. The legislation aims to close a loophole in the state's original ban, ensuring that customers are offered paper bags or fully reusable plastic bags at checkouts. Almost none of the plastic bags currently sold are recycled, and the new bill requires bags to meet higher recycling standards.
